Tektosyne 6.3 for Swing Released

This is honestly a very inconsequential release as far as the project is concerned. But after JavaFX got split off from the general Java SE distribution following Java 11, it’s simply no longer acceptable for some small GUI application like the demo suite here to require JavaFX. Require tens of MB from a third-party site to run the demo app, or rewrite in Swing? Unfortunately, despite Swing’s relative inferiority the choice is clear.
